Boardroom9 Oct 2028

Lautoka counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Lautoka now.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Sairusi Nalaubu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lautoka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Atonio Tuivuna signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Atonio Tuivuna commits to Lautoka for another 2 years.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Lautoka count the cost of losing Sakaraia Naisua

17 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Dane Lockyer wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Lautoka know it.

Loan watch9 Oct 2028

Simione Sauturaga counts the days

“I watch every Lautoka game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Rewa runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Maxim Myasnikov: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Lautoka have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Tempers go at Lautoka

Sairusi Nalaubu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad28 Aug 2028

The manager makes an example of Clivert Sam

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market7 Aug 2028

Lautoka turn down Tailevu Naitasiri for Tito Qaraniqio

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Sairusi Nalaubu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lautoka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Mervin Chand signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mervin Chand and Lautoka agree another 3 years.

Market7 Aug 2028

Lautoka sign Dane Lockyer, one for the future

Dane Lockyer is 19, and Lautoka have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market7 Aug 2028

Aporosa Yada linked with a move away

The name of Aporosa Yada keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Lautoka say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Somebody is after Aporosa Yada’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Aporosa Yada suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Lautoka have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
